- The Usenix conference approacheth, so it's time to post my usual reminder...
- If you are going to Usenix and plan to sign onto your home machine via
- the Internet from the terminal room, do bring your machine's numeric address
- as well as its name. The terminal room does have name-server service, but
- getting that set up quickly has historically been a trouble spot. Usually
- there are times when numeric addresses work but name lookups don't, so do
- come prepared.
